Fitness With Apps – Eyes on the Horizon

As I continue my course as a runner, I am endeavoring to learn more about technique, fitness, nutrition, and the science of running. I am trying to read more about it, and as I do, I continue to find that many of the truths about running are applicable to everyday.

For instance, the other day, I read that the tendency for many runners is to look down while they run, While this may be perceived as a means of concentration, it actually results in contracted breathing. It is recommended for runners to look to the horizon in order to maintain good air flow, and as a way to stay motivated.

It’s interesting that, when we are in need, we have a tendency to look down. To hang our head. To focus on the temporal. To ignore Him who is on high. I do it. You do it. We all have the propensity to do it.

When I am running and in need of breath (or a pain pill, to be honest), I tend to look down. And, as it turns out, that is the exact WRONG thing to do.
